Cool iPhone 5 cases are already on their way. Are you surprised? at Cool Mom Tech No sooner than the new iPhone 5 announcement came out did we start getting tips about the new cases that will go with the phone. Yes, a new phone in this case means new accessories, new cords and adaptors (sigh), and of course, new cases, unlike the jump from 4 to 4S. Because the phone is thinner and longer, and the screen now larger than the iPhone 4, unfortunately you can’t get away with an old case. On the bright side, the case makers, as you can imagine, are already alllll over it. Here are just a few cool ones we’re already seeing on preorder. The ever popular Griffin (makers of my own beloved Chilewich case) has lots of styles being revamped for their iPhone 5 cases including the ultra-thin reveal case, which helps keep that new slimmer phone just as slim and doesn’t hide any of the phone’s pretty design. The minimalist Protector iPhone 5 case is made out of durable silicone. My favorite from Griffiin though, may be the Chevron Hard case for iPhone 5 in 3 cool styles. 0Share

iPhone app lets visually impaired type and text — Mobile Technology News Fotoyaki iPhone app review The Fotoyaki app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad makes it possible to turn your ordinary photos into extraordinary, graphic images. Vijay Arunkumar, the Fotoyaki developer, certainly studied the interface of other popular photography apps and improved the user experience. Since the Fotoyaki app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is strictly for manipulating pictures, instead of creating a social photography experience, there are no hoops and bells and whistles and registrations to jump through. From the home screen, you choose photo library or to shoot a photo through the app. Once your photo is ready, you manipulate the image and share the image from one screen and its expanding and closing pop-up menus at the top and bottom.
